Total habitat in the News!
Over the years, our Natural Swimming Pool/Ponds and other projects have been featured in over a dozen publications including The New York Times, Current Science and House & Garden! Total Habitat founder, Mick Hilleary, even appeared on CBS Sunday Morning (twice) to talk about our Natural Swimming Pool/Pond system! We love spreading the word about these wonderful chemical-free swimming pools and we hope to work with you on your NSP project! Get Started Here
Wall Street Journal, 2021: "Natural-Pool Owners Are Kissing Chlorine And Other Chemicals Goodbye"
*Though the writer didn't quite get everything right, including the price per square foot for natural pools (which in our experience is typically more like $20 - $80 per square foot, though it varies widely as explained in more depth on our Pricing page here), it is still nice to see Natural Swimming Pools getting some much deserved media attention! In fact, the natural pool shown at the top of the article was actually built by Total Habitat for Heather and Mike Dooley at their home in Napa, California. The Wall Street Journal article, Natural Pool Owners Are Kissing Chlorine And Other Chemicals Goodbye, also features a quote from Mick Hilleary, founder of Total Habitat, as well as from Meredith Stallcup (also of Total Habitat). Check out the full article here.
